I have never heard Johnny say that he prefers x-skater to y-skater. Gabi’s support of ChockBates is not shocking— it is in keeping with her bias. It sucks that as a victim of rape she lost her job. Hopefully her book will do well.

^ I agree with NBC’s decision. Book or no book, she was clearly biased against FB/C’s programs. Her on-air favoritism of their opponents made me uncomfortable, and forced Johnny into the role of moral center. No doubt this position was uncomfortable for him, as well.

Max graciously posed for a photo with our Intermediate girls team at Eastern Synchronized Skating Sectionals today (held this year at SCoB). He was just finished with an off-ice workout. I'm not going to furnish a link because... minors... but imagine a smiling Max at the center of a dozen...

I wonder if he was affected by Max's skate and situation. He looked very emotional.

IceWorks has four surfaces, so it is great for practice ice. The main surface has just metal bench seating, which is not so good, even for lower-level competitions. Downtown Philly has several arena possibilities, though, including the U of Penn rink.

I was visited by my grandmother in a dream the night after I "lost" my virginity. I was so worried about it. My grandmother said don't worry about it.

I made no edits whatsoever to my original post. ETA: I realize it is a touchy subject because it is talking about death, and there is a strong element of woo-woo. But I was hoping we could discuss it anyway without insulting each other.

So the death is a motivating factor, more than if the loved ones were still alive. I think it is an interesting topic to consider. Don't mean to offend anyone.

Sorry -- I stand by it. I already acknowledged and expressed my sorrow over the tragedy. Were the ghosts of his parents there to guide him during the skate, as he purported?

At this year's nationals, we've had Amber Glenn and Max Naumov (saying unprompted and prompted, respectively) that she felt the presence of her recently departed grandmother, and Max Naumov, his parents, while delivering exceptional performances. Other skaters from the Skating Club of Boston...

OT: Bradie might want to just go home now. No way TPTB are going to break up this trio.

Bleh. Reposting myself from the practice thread, but I think their movements look raggedy. His loose-fitting jacket doesn't help.

I am dying for Shawn to contact you to deny involvement. There are a bunch of people you probably ticked off -- skaters, coaches, commentators, media and broadcasters, federations --
